"The best bands in the world today are probably Arcade Fire and Sigur Rós. I think Coldplay is only the seventh best in the world." says Martin in the interview taken in connection with the release of Coldplay's fourth album, Viva la Vida or Death and all his Friends Link To Article

I bet that he said that with a straight face. But was really joking. Becasue that's his sense of humour. But people will take it out of context and call him a twat. When really people should call him that becasue of the scribbling in his hand thing. Shit music though.

Very easy to knock Coldplay. They've had some good tunes.

Actually I just thought it was surprising to hear him say he has so much respect for those bands. I would not have had him down for a Sigur Rós fan. Yes the 7th best band in the world thing was probably a bit of a piss-take

In the few snippets of coversation I've heard from him, he's always sounded like he'd rather be in one of those bands.

Ah, the classic "our last album sold 10 million copies but I'd much rather be in a 'cool' band" gambit. I'm sure he'll cry himself to sleep on a pilow stuffed full of cash. Or Gwyneth Paltrow.

Everytime I hear Martin trying to crack a joke, I cringe. Hard to respect anyone who doesn't drink.

Hasn't everyone decided a long time ago that starbelgrade trades in 'ludicrous statements' and not to pay any attention to what he says?

With heroes like Alf Garnett, Benny Hill & Bernard Manning, what can you expect?! And in a thread about one of the most uncharasmatic rock stars ever, there's really nothing for it but to take the proverbial.
